We have a little devotion book that we started and the lesson for today was from 1 Thess. 5:19 “Do not quench the Holy Spirt of God.”

What was helpful was the boys were told to get dressed for the day and they were disobedient and didn’t follow directions.

After they got dressed, we did our devotion on Quenching the Spirit. I asked them if they ever start to do something and then hear a still small voice telling them to STOP? They all said yes. I told them that’s God’s way of directing them to do what is right.

I told them that quenching the Holy Spirit would be disobeying that still small voice of God and ultimately making God sad. This was the best application of this verse that I could think of – can you think of anything else?

I then asked them why we want to make sure we don’t make God sad. And Brandon, my 6 year old said “Because he made all the clothes even before we were born or any of the people were born – he made all the clothes in the world.”

Huh?

Oh well, at least he got the first part.

We ended with Bralon praying that we listen to the voice of God when he gives us directions.

Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve posted that I’m sure most have stopped reading. I’m sorry for the long absence.

I wanted to let you know things are changing around here and I’m exciting about what the Lord is about to do!

First, a new episode of the Teach Kids the Bible Podcast will be coming soon. The show will have a great new format and will provide more ideas to inspire parents to share the gospel with their children.

Second, Kids Devotion Junction will be open for the summer with a great ministry for parents looking to bring Biblical instruction to their summer activities.

Third, we are scheduling another thirty-one day reading challenge for the month of July. It was so much fun last year that we decided to do it again.

Also, look for more articles and information to be added to the site in the coming weeks.

I always loved watching the Charlie Brown Christmas Special as a kid, and now I get to enjoy it with my own children.

We’re going to make some hot cocoa and all get under a blanket and watch Charlie teach his friends the true meaning of Christmas. I love the part when Linus starts reading the story of Jesus’ birth from the Gospel of Luke.

Being able to share my life and ideas with you has been a great inspiration over the last year. I’m always thinking of new ways to share Christ with the children – not only for their benefit, but so that I can share with you as well.

Thank you God for the creative juices you have flowing through my vains. Thank you for sending new visitors to this website in pursuit of ways to share Christ with their children. Lord, help their needs to be met and that your children will be blessed!

Thank you for reading along these past seven days.

Please click on the comments and share what you and your children are thankful for this year.

I love working in the ministry at my church. Greeting people with a smile when they enter the church as a member of our Hospitality committee. I also love working with the Women’s Ministry and organizing fellowship opportunities for the women of our church.

It’s a pleasure to be able to touch people’s lives with the love of Christ.

I’m pretty sure that I have the BEST husband in the entire world. I just love this man and I thank God that He brought us together. We met in college and when we look back on our lives, we always think about how we could have easily gone other colleges – but thank God he ordered our steps!

And I’m also thankful for my 3 wonderful children. They are the light of my life. They are loving, funny, just plain ole adorable and I thank God for His wonderful gift. I am honored to be their mother.

Today, I thought I would call my oldest son over to share what he’s thankful for. He’s seven, so this could be interesting.

Here’s what he had to say:

“Food.God.trees.air.bodys.friends.AND FAMILYS!”

He typed it himself and he’s pretty proud. He put the last part in “big letters so everyone would notice it.”

What are your children thankful for? For a minute, I didn’t think he was going to say his family!

Have your kids share what they are thankful for in our comments section.

We’ve been working on a spirit of gratitude lately. I’ve been extra careful to make sure they are saying thank you to each other and thanking God too.

We’re going to work on our Tree of Thanks this weekend. We make one every year and post it on the wall until the leaves fall off because the tape will not stick anymore. Each leaf has a word or phrase that represents something we are thankful for. I’ll post a picture when we’re done.

Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions in your family? Please share them with us – we’re always looking for new ideas.
